Promotion

The underlying motivation for my thesis is to get the word out. I need to promote. But I'm so 1990's when it comes to web promotion that I don't even know where to start. I really need to talk to more blog operators that have giveaways, etc to encourage readers. But that would require having something to give away. Which means that I should have more readers/sponsors, etc. It's a vicious circle.

Although, I do plan to make mini-versions of the dolls I'm creating as give aways. I think those would be a great way to keep my thesis in viewers' minds.

What's this about and why am I here?

I began this blog to track the progress of my thesis and to reach out to women who were looking for other people who were taking a journey into body acceptance.

I used this blog as a process of learning to accept myself, laugh at myself and hopefully an outlet to grow as a person and an artist, I wasn't only talking about fat acceptance.

My thesis was about being skeptical of what the media is force-feeding us, also how we look at ourselves and each other. Body hate is counterproductive to healthy living and positive interpersonal relationships. I still believe "Fat bitch" and "skinny bitch" should only be used in the most loving of terms.
